The Untied States is literally becoming like nazi Germany and I don’t know if people understand that I’m not exaggerating. I legitimately can’t tell if people realize that America is now a fascist dictatorship, likely to soon go full on nazi Germany and make it explicitly illegal to be part of certain minority groups, at which point it may be too late for people to leave. I don’t know if people around me understand that that’s not an exaggeration.

People just keep on going to Disneyland as if it’s perfectly safe. It’s like watching people go to a store that’s literally on fire and nobody is even trying to put it out. It’s like people think if the fire department isn’t reacting then it isn’t happening

and my grandmother thinks it’s funny to tell me canada is going to be the 51st state. Yes, so hilarious the fire might soon consume our house too

    You know the administration wants to denaturalize naturalized citizens, right? And ICE has been detaining natural born citizens while claiming their identification is fake? I don’t know for sure a born citizen has been sent away to a foreign prison, but it seems likely. And that’s another thing, sending people to a foreign prison is different than just deporting them to where they came from.

      yeah and? that’s their prerogative. the american people voted this guy in, he is acting according to the platform on which he was elected.

      just because you don’t agree with it, doesn’t mean it’s the end of the world. and frankly you have no voting power anyway, so your opinion is irrelevant other than you getting high on your own righteousness?

      i voted against Trump. I wish the Democrats had half the balls he does. Evil or not, he is actually trying to change this country and deal with problems that have been festering for decades. Sucks that he is so shitty and heavy handed about it, but it had to happen sooner or later. I don’t think Kamala would have done a much of a better job on immigration policy, porbably just continued to kick the can down the road and pretend it wasn’t an issue.

      Unlike you, I am not doom and gloom about any of this. Hopefully the democrats will actually have a coherent response/policy to these things and persuade the american people to try something different.

        My point was your Latino acquaintances you mentioned are still in danger even if they’re naturalized, even if they’re born citizens

            There’s no danger whatsoever a naturalized citizen could be detained or deported? I pointed out to you that they’re trying to denaturalize citizens and are detaining citizens and claiming their documents are fake and your reply amounted to “so what?”

              That isn’t how the law works man. If he can change the law, yeah he can do that. As it stands he can’t. Maybe it will change, maybe it won’t.

              Focus more on facts, less on fear.
